/** \class WithAlignedOperatorNew
  *
  * \brief Enforces instances of inherited classes to be 16 bytes aligned when allocated with operator new
  *
  * When Eigen's explicit vectorization is enabled, Eigen assumes that some fixed sizes types are aligned
  * on a 16 bytes boundary. Those include all Matrix types having a sizeof multiple of 16 bytes, e.g.:
  *  - Vector2d, Vector4f, Vector4i, Vector4d,
  *  - Matrix2d, Matrix4f, Matrix4i, Matrix4d,
  *  - etc.
  * When an object is statically allocated, the compiler will automatically and always enforces 16 bytes
  * alignment of the data when needed. However some troubles might appear when data are dynamically allocated.
  * Let's pick an example:
  * \code
  * struct Foo {
  *   char dummy;
  *   Vector4f some_vector;
  * };
  * Foo obj1;                           // static allocation
  * obj1.some_vector = Vector4f(..);    // =>   OK
  *
  * Foo *pObj2 = new Foo;               // dynamic allocation
  * pObj2->some_vector = Vector4f(..);  // =>  !! might segfault !!
  * \endcode
  * Here, the problem is that operator new is not aware of the compile time alignment requirement of the
  * type Vector4f (and hence of the type Foo). Therefore "new Foo" does not necessarily returns a 16 bytes
  * aligned pointer. The purpose of the class WithAlignedOperatorNew is exactly to overcome this issue by
  * overloading the operator new to return aligned data when the vectorization is enabled.
  * Here is a similar safe example:
  * \code
  * struct Foo : WithAlignedOperatorNew {
  *   char dummy;
  *   Vector4f some_vector;
  * };
  * Foo *pObj2 = new Foo;               // dynamic allocation
  * pObj2->some_vector = Vector4f(..);  // =>  SAFE !
  * \endcode
  *
